You can do much the same thing at the application level without patching the stdlib: import xml xml.__path__.reverse() # If both are available, prefer stdlib over PyXML The key point is to keep both path fragments, and just rearrange the order so the standard lib if first. That way the PyXML-only stuff will still be accessible, but the stdlib will be preferred for any name conflicts in package level components that get imported after the path reversal.
